“Wonderful Guide”
I booked Yoshi for day one of our Japan adventure. The idea being we knew nothing about the transportation or the culture & felt spending the day with him would secure our bearings. Perfect choice. Yoshi speaks wonderful english, is incredibly knowledgeable, provides an awesome first day experience (a wonderful person as well). Bring your best walking shoes. Your feet will thank you. Thanks Yoshi!

“If you want an amazing tour ….. that’s fun and educational book Yoshi ”
When you book Yoshi he sends you a list of areas to visit in Tokyo. Then he also asks what you would like to see in the area. He incorporated everything we asked for and taught us as we went. We went to the temples and shrines. He taught us about religion and the customs. Something we were worried about was using the subway system in Tokyo Yoshi showed us how to get tickets and then helped us travel all through Tokyo, which helped us throughout our trip. He was very personal he told us stories from his own life and childhood about Tokyo. I would do this within the first couple days of arriving in Tokyo it will help you so much with the city and the subway system. Also, it was an amazing time. When we talk about the trip, we usually talk about the tour with Yoshi. It’s amazing !

“Amazing Guide!!”
Yoshi is an amazing guide! Professional, informative, and just wonderful. He has boundless energy and a wonderful personality! He met us promptly, gave us an outline of what we would explore and proceeded to so guide us through all the major areas of interest in Tokyo. We spent our first full day in Tokyo with him, which set us up for the rest of our stay. It helped us to decide where we wanted to explore more deeply. He showed us how to use the subway system, which was a lifesaver! He guided us through temples, food markets, interesting neighborhoods, and shopping areas, giving us highlights and recommendations. We did lots of walking, so be prepared to wear comfortable shoes. I cannot say enough about what a great guide he is. You cannot go wrong in exploring with him!!
Yoshi S.
Thank you so much Laura, for your wonderful message; it serves as great encouragement for me to continue my work as a guide. I also truly appreciated you walking such a long distance with me. It was a pleasure for me as well, seeing how enthusiastically you listened to my explanations. Please get in touch if you have the chance to visit Japan again—I look forward to seeing you. Yoshi
